News has come out over the past few weeks that The Wonderful 101 was originally imagined as a Nintendo all-star game. Characters from the company’s stable of franchises would have joined together in a brand new adventure.

Ultimately, that idea wasn’t meant to be. But if it had released as originally intended, The Wonderful 101 director Hideki Kamiya believes it would have been quite a different title.

“Considering the wide range of backgrounds of different Nintendo characters, I imagine [if we’d continued] down that route it could have had some of the edge taken off of it. Not to say that it wouldn’t have come together in the form it is now … being this sort of bright pop design, but it’s actually quite serious, in terms of being an action game. If we had pursued Nintendo characters, I imagine it would have skewed more casually.”

“Since Nintendo characters are so famous and widely known around the world. I had these dreams of becoming very well-known amongst the most famous designers as well, such as Mr. Miyamoto.”
